Upright Meaning
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity,” said Roman philosopher Seneca. As a result of your persistence, you have made steady progress in your endeavors and you are on your way to your grand vision. Your visionary ways lead the pack forward. Take a bird’s-eye view of your life to anticipate every possible opportunity available to you. That will prepare you for both good and bad news, so that you are much more readily able to handle challenges. Following your curiosity has led you on a path to gather unique skills and absorb useful information that can help you expand both outward and inward. This is a time when travel is encouraged and to dive into what lights your soul on fire. Think big—your thoughts are the seeds toward action.
Reversed Meaning
Obstacle after obstacle has left you feeling frustrated and apprehensive. You can see the big picture; however, there are blocks along the way. Plans with not only a timeline, but a deadline, have been thrashed, which ends up feeling like time wasted. In a constant state of overwhelm, you are thrown off your game and unable to adjust to the challenges that have come your way. This could also have happened due to poor planning and a shaky foundation. Take your losses for what they are and align yourself back to your grand vision. Ask yourself what tiny steps you can take today so that you are that much closer to achieving what you have dreamed for yourself. This is all a part of the journey, and you have all the resources necessary to overcome your struggles.
